10 Secret Wars Cameos That Would Break the Internet

The Infinity Saga largely focused on a single universe, but the Multiverse Saga has brought amazing surprise appearances to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve seen alternate versions of characters like Reed Richards, played by John Krasinski, and even characters from past franchises, like Patrick Stewart as Professor X. These cameos have become a key part of the new MCU, and fans believe Marvel Studios has even bigger surprises planned for the end of Phase Six.

The upcoming movie, Avengers: Secret Wars, is expected to explore the multiverse in a way we haven’t seen before in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Expect a huge number of surprise appearances from familiar faces! References to older Marvel stories and comics will excite fans, but certain cameos would be unbelievably popular, likely causing a massive reaction online when they appear.

Chloe Bennet’s Quake Deserves More

Fans of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are accustomed to disappointment, but Marvel Studios should really start listening to them and include a fan-favorite character in the main Marvel Cinematic Universe. Chloe Bennet’s character, Quake, would be a perfect fit. Her journey from a rebellious hacker to a powerful hero who’s saved the world is one of the most interesting in Marvel TV.

Bringing back Adrianne Palicki as a different version of Daisy Johnson (like an alternate reality counterpart) would be a great way to acknowledge the character and show fans she’s still part of the universe. She could be a seasoned agent traveling between worlds, an Inhuman from a different reality, or even a version of Daisy who became an Avenger. This would excite viewers and show respect for a character and storyline that often gets overlooked.

Eric Bana’s Hulk Could Be The Monster’s Most Savage Variant

While Mark Ruffalo’s portrayal of the Hulk is popular, many fans are hoping to see a more ferocious version of the character. The upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars movie might deliver on that wish by bringing back the Hulk as played by Eric Bana in the 2003 film. Unlike the current Marvel Cinematic Universe version, Bana’s Hulk fully gave in to his anger, culminating in a powerful, rage-fueled scene in the Amazon rainforest.

After portraying Bruce Banner, Eric Bana would be a great choice to play a truly wild and unrestrained Hulk – one who’s completely given in to his rage and hasn’t looked back. Whether as the classic Savage Hulk or the more intelligent and brutal Maestro, fans would likely welcome another powerful, combat-focused Hulk to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Secret Wars Needs Eric Allan Kramer’s Thor Variant

Readers of Secret Wars will remember the Thors – multiple versions of the God of Thunder who served as law enforcement throughout Doctor Doom’s battleworld. This has led fans to speculate about potential appearances of other live-action Thors, like Eric Allan Kramer, who played the role in the TV movie The Incredible Hulk Returns.

Though Eric Allan Kramer’s portrayal of Thor didn’t last long, many fans appreciate his loud and confident personality, which differs from the more reserved version seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This version of Thor feels like a natural fit for an older, more experienced ‘King Thor’ – a character who initially works for Doomgard before ultimately helping to save the entire multiverse, including his own destroyed world.

Famke Janssen’s Jean Grey Had A Very Short Run

I remember when the first X-Men movies came out, and Famke Janssen as Jean Grey was awesome. Her story with the Phoenix Force was super intense, especially that heartbreaking scene where she asks Wolverine to end things. It felt huge back then, but honestly, looking at it now, after so many other superhero movies and shows, it doesn’t quite hit the same way. It feels like they didn’t really capture her comic book story as well as they could have.

Fans are eager to see the powerful Phoenix Force appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, even if it’s just a brief appearance from another universe. Given its importance in Marvel lore, it seems unlikely the Phoenix Force won’t play a role in the ongoing multiversal conflict. While Jean Grey actress Famke Janssen has stated Disney hasn’t reached out to her, a cameo appearance would still be a welcome surprise. Many fans hope Janssen could return to the role, offering a satisfying resolution to how the character was treated in the Fox-produced films.

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Is Simply A Classic

Okay, so Hugh Jackman already blew everyone’s minds when he said he was coming back as Wolverine for the Deadpool & Wolverine movie. But now there’s talk he might even show up in Avengers: Secret Wars! Seriously, fans absolutely love him as Logan, and even after 25 years, we still can’t get enough of his performance. If he’s in Secret Wars, the internet is going to lose it all over again, I’m telling you!

The upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie introduces multiple versions of Wolverine, and the one appearing in the film could team up with Deadpool in future installments. Fans are also eager to see a version of Logan rejoin the X-Men, and imagine the fun dynamic of him constantly clashing with Cyclops. Hopefully, Hugh Jackman would be willing to play both Wolverines if that happens.

Chris Evans’s Return As Nomad Would Make Sense

Fans are hoping to see familiar faces from past Marvel projects make cameos, and they’re also excited about the possibility of seeing different versions of heroes who aren’t currently in the main Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Chris Evans has finished playing Captain America, his character, Steve Rogers, could reappear as Nomad – an identity he took on when he lost faith in the government.

Everyone loves Chris Evans, but most fans accept that he’s finished playing a major role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Luckily, the idea of the multiverse allows for smaller appearances. Bringing in a version of Nomad from another reality would excite fans and pay tribute to Evans’ history with the Captain America character. Plus, it’s fun to see a traditionally heroic character take a different path now and then.

Jessica Alba’s Invisible Woman Deserves Better Writing

Jessica Alba, known for her role as the Invisible Woman in the Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, recently discussed a difficult experience from filming. She described a semi-naked scene on a bridge as the worst moment of her career. Now, 20 years later, many fans agree the scene was unnecessary and reflected the male gaze common in 2000s filmmaking.

Thankfully, things are improving for the character of Sue Storm. While this version of her is exceptionally powerful, she was previously limited to being a plot device in a love story and often portrayed in a sexist way. She deserves a brief appearance that highlights her strength, independent of any harmful stereotypes. A moment similar to her 2005 portrayal in Avengers: Secret Wars would be a great way to make up for the problematic way Alba’s portrayal was handled.

Ben Affleck’s Daredevil Could Be Finally Redeemed

The 2003 Daredevil movie isn’t everyone’s favorite, but it was a significant early superhero film, particularly for its darker, grittier tone. Because of that, bringing Ben Affleck back as Matt Murdock makes sense for the MCU, even if just for a cameo. With Jennifer Garner reprising her role as Elektra, Affleck’s version of Daredevil is now officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Bringing Ben Affleck back as Daredevil would instantly become a huge online moment, the kind where fans are shocked and delighted to see something unexpected happen – especially given the mixed reactions to his previous DC role. It would also give fans some much-needed closure, as the original movie left the story open for a sequel that never materialized. This cameo could show us what happened to Daredevil after the events of the film, finally giving us a glimpse of the future that was originally planned.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Phil Coulson Would Touch the Fandom’s Heart

Fans are often confused about where the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fits within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its connection to the MCU is inconsistent, which has negatively impacted the stories of beloved characters like Phil Coulson. Coulson played a significant role in the early days of the Avengers, so it feels like a disservice to largely ignore his story in the broader franchise.

Bringing back a version of Phil Coulson – whether he’s still leading S.H.I.E.L.D. or not – would be a welcome blast from the past, especially if the Marvel Cinematic Universe is starting over after Avengers: Secret Wars. Fans who’ve been following the MCU for nearly twenty years would be thrilled to see such a well-loved character from the early days of Phase One.

Miles Teller’s Reed Richards Could Save His Own Story As The Maker

Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four was the final attempt to make a movie about Marvel’s First Family before the Marvel Cinematic Universe took over. The film wasn’t successful and is often called a poor adaptation of the comic books. Despite its flaws, many fans liked Miles Teller as Reed Richards, and a brief appearance in a future Marvel project could give the character a chance to shine.

It would be more interesting if Teller’s character didn’t become a hero. Instead, he could become the Maker – a darker version of Reed Richards who goes too far after facing personal hardship. The Maker, originally from a different universe, represents Reed’s greatest fear, and seeing Pedro Pascal’s Reed confront him would be incredibly dramatic. While the 2015 version of Reed wasn’t well-received as a hero, he has the potential to become a truly memorable villain as the Multiverse Saga concludes. The idea of a failed hero becoming a powerful villain is a compelling story arc.
